Photographer's Note

This picture of Orleans's Canal in Donnery was taken at a temperature of -6 ° C by a freezing penetrating wind.
If we are not well protected we might be attacked by viruses seeking our body heat
I had nothing to fear because I was protected by a jacket of good quality.
But I was struck by lightning virus since my teens.

The main symptoms are:
- A tremor of the index face to a beautiful landscape.
- A strong need to leave home in search of subjects to be photographed under a specific light.
- Browse for miles across the country or the world.
- Photographing scenes of daily life, men, animals, insects, flowers ... etc.
- Sharing pictures and sharing our knowledge with our friends and relations.

No matter if it's black and white or color, I never tire of discovering beautiful images by visiting exhibitions or watching a beautiful book.

As a doctor (now retired) I can tell you that your virus is not serious. But, unfortunately, there is no known cure! I think you will have it for the rest of your life!

But it's worth being infected with this virus if you can continue to produce beautiful photographs like this! Lovely lighting, lovely colours and contrasts and exquisite detail and sharpness. And a fine composition too.

I love this type of pictures, wonderful winter picture with the Orleans's Canal in Donnery.
A splendid rural landscape and great panoramic view about these area.
Excellent captured and composed, very well done, TFS.

hELLO dIDI,

All the best,

Lol at the photography virus! I think it must be contagious! Most of the TE members have it! Good perspective here & I'm surprised your camera battery did not complain about the cold. Impeccable sharpness & excellent linear perspective here. Merci et amicalement.

Bonjour Didi,
your informative note has a great and clever humour,with the same 'sign of illness ' to have and me, ecspecially when i'm face to face with a beautiful landscape,saying 'this will be a marvelous good shot'.
I like the view of the frozen canal with the depth to creates an excellent and superb scene under the brilliant light of the cold day of February with the vivid colours to enhance the beauty of the place.

Have a good weekend,Danos
PS You have right about your previous critics, that a panoramic large view would was better for the photos,but this could be in a next visit to Moroco.

Hi Didi,
Good pov and good frame to show a river that frozen up in the winter, nice local houses on the bank of river, lively daily life shot with capture some passing people, I like their winter cosutume, thanks for sharing a harmonious view from a beautiful village.

Salam Didi
The frozen water in the canal looks good in the mellow light. The fine tonal contrast between the clear blue sky & the warm tone of the tree look good. Good perspective & depth!
Best Regards

Bonsoir Didi,
I remember this place very well from a previous post. This time the accompanying note is also very nice!
The perspective is excellent and you managed the winter light very well. This is another very beautiful impression of an interesting place - thanks for sharing!
Warm regards
Harriet

Hi Didi, I nearly missed this one.. your note has made me laugh.. yes there is something special about going out when it is so cold.. that the viruses may attack you for your warmth. Canal are very special to mke as I live in the Lock keeperrs cottage on the Oxford Canal.. Well posted it is a clear sharp image. TFS Ricx

Bonsoir Didi,
this view is lovely but I think it is one of many excuses to capture and use the very beautiful light that brightens the winter day and is always very welcome and appreciated. You've captured it playing with the naked branches and on all kinds of surfaces and textures, everything seen with superb sharpness and clarity. I like very much the depth, the lovely natural colours, the delightful atmosphere the people in the frame enjoy. Well done and thank you! I'm glad you are stuck with that virus mentioned in your notes.
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania
